The entry-level model of Italy’s small sports car is currently on promotion. Is there a catch?
The concept of ownership is disappearing more and more from the vocabulary of drivers, but when it comes to electric cars, isn’t that a fortunate thing? Technology evolves so quickly that a car barely introduced is already outdated. Therefore, limiting oneself to rental can be a wise decision.
Consequently, why not indulge yourself and explore the offers, as they are time-limited and subsidized by the state and ecological bonus. This is the case for the small Abarth 500 E, which is essentially a frivolous machine and therefore indispensable…
On sale since spring, the entry-level Abarth 500 E Sedan has a first financing offer, a 37-month (thus 3 years and 1 month) long-term lease (LLD). No trade-in conditions are necessary and only an initial deposit of 2,500 euros will be requested. The first payment of 7,500 euros is actually reduced by 5,000 euros thanks to the ecological bonus.
Following that are 36 monthly payments of 229 euros, totaling 10,744 euros by the end of the lease. Even without driving a single kilometer, this already accounts for the vehicle’s depreciation: in other words, it’s a very attractive rate since you won’t lose more money than if you had purchased it in your name. The only limitation is the permitted mileage of only 30,000 kilometers, which will suit most city dwellers but less so rural residents.
The only color available without extra charge is acid green and the 155-horsepower (113.7 kW) motor, with WLTP range limited to 266 km, or about 180 km in real life. In city driving, this official figure increases to 360 km, approximately 300 km in real conditions.
This offer, valid until August 31, 2023, is quite tempting as it only obliges you for a relatively short period. In three years, technology will have evolved, allowing you to make a leap forward and stay up-to-date. And living a few years with a car that has a cool look isn’t something you experience every day.
